South Americans are known to be very direct and open. On this continent people live eye contact and real face to face meetings. We are also known as people who enjoy life and there’s a lot of fun, entertainment carefree in Latin America. The internet and all that virtual communication changed that a bit. A lot of the activities that were conducted directly, are know handled online and people tend to communicate less. Take casinos, for example. Online casinos are a lot more convenient than land-based casinos, but many feel that the personal touch is lost. That is why South American online casino players love live dealers and live dealer games. In these games players can enjoy an actual human interaction and can communicate with live dealers, as well as other players. These games provide an opportunity to feel an authentic casino atmosphere online.

Not a Difficult Group

All eyes and thoughts of Brazilian football fans are now on the Brazilian team that will compete for the Olympic title this year. The Olympic gold is the only gold that Brazil haven’t won yet, and it is more than obvious that home fans will be expecting nothing short of a title this year. It has already been announced that South Africa, Iran and Denmark will be the opponents of The Green and Yellow in Group A. Brazil will play two matches in Brasilia and their last match in Nova. The group opponents shouldn’t face any serious threat for the Brazilian team it is expected for Brazil to come out on top, preferably with 3 secure and decisive wins.

Neymar’s Presence Will Be Crucial

Neymar is considered to be one of the greatest players in the world today and he once laid the Brazilian U23 team to an Olympic final four years ago in London, when Brazil tragically lost to Mexico. Barcelona already confirmed that Neymar will play in the Olympics and this will be a huge boost for the team. Many believe that a team led by Neymar have what it takes to become Olympic Champions for a first time in history.

There Are a Lot of Dangerous Opponents

Assuming that everything goes well for Brazil in the opening stage of the tournament, they will meet the runner up from Group B in the quarterfinal. Sweden, Colombia, Nigeria and Japan are the nations competing in this group. Sweden are the current U21 World Champions and if they don’t manage to win their group and finish second instead, they may pose a serious threat for the Brazilians. Football legend Ronaldinho who helped draw the groups for the competition stated that the draw was favourable for Brazil. However, anything can happen in the knockout stage and players have to be disciplined and dedicated if they wish to progress to the next stage.

A Win Against Argentina or Mexico Will Be more than Wanted

If Brazil manages to win the first phase of the knockout part of the tournament, then they’ll reach the semi-finals, where they will meet the winner from the match between the Group C winners and Group D runners up. Group C is probably the most competitive group in the tournament as both Mexico and Germany are part of it. There is a large possibility that one of these two teams will face Brazil in the semi-finals. Argentina, Brazil’s arch-rival is in Group D.

It Can Happen!

If we’re being honest, this is probably the best opportunity for Brazil to win the long awaited gold medal, especially after the second place in London in 2012 and the bronze in 2008. The players possess the required quality and with the support of Brazil’s loyal home fans anything can be achieved. Football fans in Brazil deserve a bit of joy after the World Cup fiasco. Neymer sure hasn’t forgot 2012 and he is more than eager to prove everyone that he is a world class player. Brazil stand fair chances of winning. Bookies give Brazil 3.25 odds, whereas Mexico’s odds are set pretty high at 23.
